An hour earlier Carpenter had gone to the of- fice of United States District Attorney Burnett in the Federal building and in- formed him that his cleint would waive examination. shal Henkel and Commissioner Shields were noti- fled at the same time.

When the carriage reached the Hotel Breslin, at Twenty-ninth street ana Broadway, the party stopped and Mar- shal Henkel went into the hotel. He returned in a few minutes with the maid, who carried several bundles. She, with Marshal Henkel and one of the deputies, accompanied Mrs. Chad- wick to the station.

NEW YORK, Deg. 13.—"I was a lamb and I regret to say that for fif- teen days I believed in Mrs. Chadwick and was one of her many victims,” said ex-Judge William H. K. Olcott, of a law firm of which ex-Governor Frank 8. Black is a member, to-day. He continued: My connection and the firm's connection with re. Chadwick is in about this way. Mrs. adwick came to bur office on March 2, 1904, &nd saw ex-Governor Black and myself. She vernor that she wanted him to go that his position as former Gov. New York would help and ehe drew from her reticule $1000 and it in front of Gov- ernor Black for his expenses to Cleveland The Governor concluded not to go, and it was | finally decided that I should go and for my fee for one day in Cleveland she paid $500. The object of her visit to us was to have Us relieve her from a threatened atta against her home on Buclid avenue Cle nd, which was to bave been levied upon by Ober- lin College for a claim of $78,000. This claim, I understood, was later paid, but not through this firm's suspices. Mrs. Chadwick, In that slow, impressive manner of hers, said to Governor Black: I & very rich woman. I have $5,000,000 in trust fund.” We were naturally impressed. | In order to make good her statement she pro- [ing el | nothing to say | | | | | { duced Irl Reynolds” tificate for the $5,000,000 of securities held by im.

On my arrival in Cleve- land I asked Mrs. Chadwick to show me her securitles, but under one pretext or another she evaded the proposition and did not show them to _me. Her excuse all the time was thet Iri Reynolds was out of town, and finally after banking hours,when I nsisted upon see- er the securities or Iri Reynolds, she got M ¥nolds on the telephone. I talked with him and he acknowledged to me having these securities in his possession. At that time I believed that they were all right Armed with thls information, I saw the law- yers of the Oberlin College and Treasurer Sey. erance and inquired about a settlement. They wanted to know from me If I had any as- surances of settiement other than what Mrs. Chadwick had given me. I told them that I had not. They repiled to me: *‘Why, you do pot, know any more about this case than we ., I had to admit the soft impeachmen far as my accomplishing anything wirp Moy Chadwick and the Oberlin people wa® con- cerned, my visit was futile; and my trip to Cleveland ended right there, Olcott said that before he left Cleveland Mrs. Chadwick borrowed $1500 of him, making out a check for that amount. She promised, he said, that the check would be sent or the money paid not later than March 6, but she did not do so. He continued: I then became somewhat suspicious, bu entirely so. I still had confidence in’ her and probably would ‘have believed her to this day mwere it mot for (he fact that I heard from Cleveland that she had been represent about town that 1 was Mr. Carpestes rebre® sentative. Letters to this ng if 1 were reaily Mr. Carnegie's representative, camie to me and then I lost faith in Mrs, Chad. wick and determined to get my money back. On March 15 1 went to Cleveland and de- manded from Mrs. Chadwick immediate pay- ment of the $1500 1 had loaned her. She re. plied: “Why, I am a siek woman and. I cannot pay you to-day.” I told her in reply that 1 came to Cleveland to get that money, to get it that day, and that I should not leave without it; that if I did not get the money I would take legal steps against her. She said that if I insisted she would have the money inside of two hours. At the expiration of two hours I returned and she paid me $1500. That terminated this firm's _connection with Mrs. Chadwick. Since then Mrs. Chadwick has made re) efforts peated 1o again retain thig firm to help her out of | her @ifficulties, but we have always re to bave anything more to do with her. In spite of these repeated refusals on our part, Mrs. Chadwick persisted in her efforts to se. cure the firm's assistance and even on the day of the arrest of Mrs. Chadwick she sent her iawyer Edmund W. , to me to retain us, but we refuseds Ard even no later than yesteriay we were again asked to be her Ccounsel and as usual we K . 1 cannot reveal the secrets of my client, ‘but want ERE LR R 3 to | | that it was forged paper?

Alternatives Confronting Mrs. Chad- wick in Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Dec. 13.—The pros- pects to-night are that when Mrs. Chadwick arrives here she will be compelled to go to jail, unless she can give ball in the amount of $40,000. United States Marshal Frank M. Chandler said that Mrs. Chadwick would be taken before Judge Wing, who would be sitting in the United States District Court, where, if she could give bonds, she would be re- leased. Failing to do so, she would be placed in the county jail. The County Grand Jury to-day re- sumed its investigation of the affairs of Mrs. Chadwick, but returned no in- dictment against her. It is under- stood that an indictment relating to the uttering and forging of the $5,000,- 000 note on deposit in the Wade Park Bank, which was the principal matter considered by the investigating body to-day, had been drafted. The Grand Jury will meet again to- morrow and if no indictment is brought in the inquiry into the affairs of the county may be considered as ended for the present. District Attorney Sullivan to-night received word from Andrew Carnegie that he was suffering from lumbago and would not be abie to attend the investigation to-morrow. Carnesie. however, will attend the trial of Mrs. | Chadwick. Herbert W. Bell, who was appointed received for Mrs. Chadwick by the Common Pleas Court, caused excite- ment this morning. He announced that he had found the Chadwick securities that had been deposited with the Wade Park Bank to aggregate $28,000,000, or nearly double the amount originally supposed. Bell ment before entering the Grand Jury room to testify as to the nature of the papers in his possession. After going over the papers with County Prosecutor Keeler and the members of the jury, Bell altered his statement, saying that he had over- estimated the amount by $10,246,000, the face of the trust agreement. There were two copies of this agreement among the papers, neither of them be- | ing marked as a duplicate, and he had considered them as separate docu- ments. It was the opinion of both the receiver and prosecuting attorney that the second trust agreement was in- tended to be a copy and not a distinct asset in itself. The amount of securi- ties is, therefore, the same as previous- 1y published. SRR SE N HINTS AT NEW SENSATION. Clergyman Intimates the Carnegle Signatures Are Genuine. PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 13.—Rev. A. H. Jolly, who united Mrs. Chadwick in marriage with his cousin, Dr. Leroy S. | Chadwick, in an interview to-day ad- mitted that he was in possession of | several important secrets in connection with the famous case, but could not talk for publication. He made a plea for fair play for Mrs. Chadwick and said she was a grossly wronged wo- man. Questioned as to the truth of the rumor that Mrs. Chadwick had suc- ceeded in negotiating a loan for $800,- 000 in Pittsburg he declined to confirm or deny the report. Continuing he said: “It is claimed the paper held by Mrs. Chadwick is forged- Do you know No one else does. It remains for the court to prove that.” At this junction Jolly was inter- rupted. “Do you mean to convey the mean- ing that the securities are not worth- less; that the signatures on the notes are genuine?” “I have not sald so,” quickly replied Jolly. “Watch developments in this case. It is a peculiar affair. I know of several interesting points in the case and I could answer the majority of your questions, but I will not do it. I am determined to remain silent in con- nection with all the troubles of the Chadwick family.” - DENOUNCES CHADWICK. Beckwith Says the Woman’s Husband Should Be Prosecuted. OBERLIN, Ohio, Dec. 13.—Presi- dent Beckwith, when shown the Paris interview with Dr. Chadwick, who seemed surprised that his wife was so heavily involved in America, said: Why, he knew all about this matter upon his return from Europe last August On August 26 I got a telegram from Mrs. Chad- wick saying that the matter of the Carnegie note would be taken up in a few days and that I would get my money. On August 27 1 got another telegram from her saying that the matter had all been arranged and that I could look for a settlement at any time. On August 28 I got a letter from her saying that Dr. Chadwick was to take up the matter of the Carnegle notes and that they would all be paid at once, and that if I would come to Cleveland on September & I could get a set- tlement. Accordingly 1 went to Cleveland and’ met them at the Chadwick home on Euclid avenue. I arrived about 4 o'clock in the afternoon at their beautiful home and Dr. Chadwick had arrived from New York on the 3 o'clock train, L v CHILDREN VIRTUAL SLAVES OF OWNERS OF FACTORIES Cases Found Where Youngsters Are Fined for Talking. Y NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Two men, one the manager of a candy factory and the other a partner in a woven wire mat factory, have been arrested on charges preferred by factory in- spectors of violation of the child labor law. The magistrate who heard the complaint declared the charges to be unusual and if true indicated a condi-l tion of virtual slavery. One of the factory inspectors said she found at the candy-maker’s two girls of 13 and 14 years who worked sixty-eight hours in six days, for which they received $3. One of the children had been fined 10 cents for talking during business hours and 2 cents for having been five minutes late one morning.

He then asked his wife to get him the check- book and she told him that it was out in the other room and he left the room where Mrs. Chadwick and myself were sitting and in & few minutes returned With two checks, which resd as follows: “CLEVELAND, Ohlo, Sept. 3, 1904.—Pay to the order of C.

A quarter of an hour before the time appointed for the commencement of business the Op- position mustered in full strength. Not one of the Government’s supporters had arrived, and the Opposition had the house to itself with the exception of the personal guard of forty men pro- vided for the progection of the presi- dent of the hoase. The presence of these guards, who occupied the ap- proaches to the presidential platform, seemed to inflame the Opposition Dep- uties, who in opprobrious terms shouted at the “Hungarians who could perform such shameful service.” The Deputies then approached the platform and a scuffle with the guards ensued. The Deputies fought their way to the platform, tore it to pieces, scattered the debris over the house, tore to atoms the codes of law on the president’s table, smashed the tables and chairs and destroyed the platform and distributed the broken pieces among the Deputies, who, thus armed, attacked the guards and after a brief fight drove them from the house. The desks were then torn down and the interior of the house. was almost completely wrecked. None of the Lib- eral members ventured inside house, and the Opposition members. after completing the ruin, established themselves on the site erstwhile oc- cupied by the presidential rostrum. The Liberals have been summoned to a conference to decide on their course of action. The sittings in both houses of Parliament arranged for to-day were postponed until to-morrow. Minister of Jystice Plesz had a con- ference to-nigh®with the Public Pros- ecutor and arranged for the prosecu- tion of the offending Deputies. It is rumored that the troops will be held in readiness provided with ball cart- ridges near the Parliament building to-morrow and Premier Tizsa is said to be determined to hold the sitting under the protection of bayonets. —_——————— SCHOOL IN NEW YORK HAS FIVE THOUSAND STUDENTS in Metropolis of the Country.

PETERSBURG, Dec. 13.—Sason- eff, who threw the bomb which killed Minister of the Interior von Plehwe, and Sikoritsky, his accomplice in| crime, were to-day found guilty by the Court of Appeals, sitting in the law court building. The former was sen- tenced to life imprisonment with hard labor and the latter to twenty years' imprisonment. N The trial had been expected to last two days, but it was rushed to a speedy completion, in view of the pos- sibility of revolutionary demonstra- tions. The trial was behnd closed doors | and all entrances to the building were guarded and only persons who could produce summonses were admitted. | Even members of the bar were treated | as outsiders. Large police reserves | were stationed wighin the building and | in the court yards of the ordinance | factory, while mounted gendarmes pa- trolled the sides of the building. The procedure followed closely that of the French courts. The prosecutor opened with preseinting the case for| the Government, the indictment was | read and the prisoners were arraigned, pleading justifiable homicide, after which the witnesses were examined. Sasoneft's apologia is declared to be a remarkable document, showing the prisoner to be a man of superfor in-| tellect and learning.
